The Max Level Hero Has Returned!

Davey quietly nodded as Aina, also known as Jack, reported. Then, he came to a conclusion aftering thinking hard. He said, “I am going to sell you.”

“Pardon?”

“Did you not hear me? I am going to sell you as a slave.”

“...” Aina silently turned away.

“Any questions?”

“Why?”

“Guys like them always have an escape route. If I attack them, they will either take the ones we couldn’t rescue somewhere else or…kill them,” Davey mumbled with a stiff face.

Aina froze before asking, “Do you want me to be sold as a product, go there, and subdue all of them?”

“That’s right.”

“What if they tie me up? I might be subdued as well.”

“You’re afraid even when you know how to release sword energy from your fingernails?”

‘And besides, you have a spirit of the dark that comes out when you’re in danger.’

Aina frowned slightly. “Being caught on purpose…”

Rather than feeling displeased, it was quite disturbing that Aina looked quite pleased.

“Kugh!! Keugh…”

As a man collapsed to the ground with a scream, Davey scanned the other members with a straight face and asked, “I will give you a choice. Release your weapons or I will claim your lives…”

“D-Do not back down! There is no retreat! Whether we get dragged away or forced to fight here, we will die anyway!”

The boss of Blackbird could at least think. Since the entrance and exits were all covered by a black flame, they had no way of escaping. The only escape route they had was to kill Davey and flee the territory. They would certainly have heard the stories about Davey, but humans tended to do whatever they could to live.

From time to time, humans…

“A… Ahhh!!!”

Showed supernatural strength in danger…

“Die!!”

And did the impossible. For example, they could exert much more strength than usual or become extremely fast.

Shwa…

However, the man charged in with his sharp blade only to slash an image of Davey which had been made with black fog.

Moonlight Steps had left an image right where Davey had been to confuse the opponent. It was an extremely fast and secret movement method that confused the enemy and allowed one to move around without leaving any traces.

As the man’s eyes widened when he cut through the fog image, Davey appeared behind him and grabbed his neck. He then pulled out the dagger in his pocket to stab him repeatedly. He had aimed for all the dangerous spots without hesitation: wrist, tendon, Achilles heel, thigh, and groin.

As the tendons supporting his body had been cut, the man collapsed to the ground like a loose string puppet. He couldn’t even scream.

Another man charged toward Davey from behind, but he was soon lifted up by the neck. Davey had grabbed him.

“Gurgle! Keugh…”

All the man could do was stare up at the ceiling and flail. It was as if he had lost all strength to fight back. He probably wanted to look down, but felt like his neck had been stuck in a metal vise.

Crack!!

Davey horribly distorted the man’s neck before letting him roll on the floor.

For a moment, time had seemingly slowed down with many swords flying through the air. Davey dodged the blades by jumping up in the air. He was soon enveloped by black smoke before disappearing from sight.

With wide eyes, the men shouted, “He’s gone aga…!”

[Moonlight Style Modified Throws of Power]

[Sky-filled Flower Rain]

Crack!

Pieces of rock broke off from the underground space, falling from above with stupid strong mana. They fell like rain and hit the men accurately. After all, they were all individual throws of power.

“Keah!!”

Ignoring the injured men who eventually fell to the floor, Davey dissipated the black smoke from his body as he lightly floated back down to the ground. He walked toward the only man who hadn’t tried to attack him.

Before he could even attack, the man froze like stone from Davey’s Touch of Death. He was the boss of the organization. He collapsed on the floor, clenching his jaw and looking up at Davey. “S-Stop!”

“You have something to say?”

“I-I request a negotiation!”

Davey threw the man onto the ground and growled, “Negotiation? You think you’re in the position to request a negotiation?”

“E-Eight citizens from this town! And your subordinate, too!”

Davey frowned.

“If… If you kill me, you will never be able to find them. I don’t know with what confidence you sent your subordinate there, but my guys would have already moved after noticing something was off!”

“Do that,” Davey said calmly as he pulled out Red Ribbon. Grabbing the man by his neck again, he then struck down the sword without hesitation.

“A… Ahh!! A-Alright! I will give you information about those wild dogs!!”

Flustered at how easily Davey was going to kill him, the boss requested a negotiation and even abandoned the laws of the underworld. Of course, Davey did not need the information as he already had a verified pro of intelligence.

“I don’t need it.”

Thud!!

Davey punched the boss, who slid to the ground. Only then did the flames covering all the exits disappear at once.

“Attendant Bernile. They are human traffickers. Come and clean it up.”

Letting Bernile know of the situation through his communication crystal, Davey headed over to where Aina’s signal was coming from.

* * *

“Is it…here?”

“Warning. Thinking there is no need for Rinne to do it. Rinne does not understand.”

“To be honest, we came all the way here from the Hyeon Empire to escort Princess Tanya, but… We wonder if there is anyone who will harm her here.”

As Tanya had an unbelievably over-the-top protection here, everyone could see why the Heins Territory was so famous in the East and how supported Prince Davey, the seigneur, was.

“However…it seems like the territory has just begun developing.”

“Rinne, puzzled.”

“There are no slums here. The gap between the rich and the poor is bound to exist even amongst the most socially aware citizens.”

“Rinne highly values that opinion.”

Rinne then glanced at the dark warehouse in the east. Nobody should be in that warehouse, which had been built to store extra materials, but there were two large men guarding its entrance with threatening expressions on their faces.

“Illegal occupation. Meticulous to not leave any evidence. Rinne highly values their struggle.”

“Have a safe walk back. You don’t know what they are going to do.”

When Rinne tilted her head in confusion at his advice, Dan-Goong sighed.

The little girl in front of him only looked very similar to a human and was actually a biological golem. She was a being that Dan-Goong could not understand with his knowledge, but it wasn’t difficult to tell that she was not a simple creature from her appearance.

“I heard from Princess Maria. These people are a large organization that does human trafficking, a crime this territory has declared as illegal.”

They went by the name of Jackal or something like that. They were quite a large organization in the central continent, but it seemed like a branch of that organization was hidden in the Heins Territory.

Of course, they had no reason to be afraid of a crappy organization like Jackal considering Prince Davey’s unbelievable power. However, they could not just disregard them; there were a lot of nobles who had their backs.

Most of all, Rinne and Dan-Goong were the only people here. Originally, it was only Rinne who was supposed to go inside, but Dan-Goong had decided to tag along.

“Why?”

“It’s not that simple. Even though you and I have some power, they are a huge criminal organization that has the funds to hire high-ranking assassins. It could be dangerous.”

“Rinne does not appreciate your cowardly statement.”

“Yeah, yeah. You’re just a golem, is that it?” Dan-Goong sighed.

Rinne frowned slightly.

Thud!!

Then, she said with a pout, “Rinne does not appreciate it.”

“That’s not the only thing. Criminal organizations always make an escape route. I understand that you’re confident, but do you think they will just take whatever you have for them without a plan? You have to think if you have a head,” Dan-Goong criticized Rinne harshly.

Rinne stared up at Dan-Goong in silence.

“As soon as you go wild in there, I’m sure the quick ones will either kill…or send the ones they have kidnapped for trafficking somewhere else. They will burn all the evidence. If you got an order, at least be more careful…”

“Rinne rejects that request. Sir Davey. Wiped out the Blackbird gang with another person. Sir Davey ordered Rinne to wipe out the Jackal gang,” Rinne said calmly.

The moment Dan-Goong was going to say something else, Rinne suddenly took a couple steps back and her eyes shone. She muttered, “An irritating statement. Extremely uncomfortable with people underestimating Rinne with the exception of Sir Davey. Emotional circuit is heating fast. Rinne defines this as anger.”

“What…?”

“Choosing Missile Dropkick, a fighting method following anger.”

Dan-Goong tried to escape with wide eyes upon hearing Rinne’s shout. Unfortunately, she flew over without hesitation; she was already pissed off by his criticism.

As Rinne’s Missile Dropkick, which weighed over two hundred kilograms, struck him, Dan-Goong flew away like he had been hit by a dump truck. He struck the two men standing outside the warehouse.

“Keugh!!”

Dan-Goong did not die because he was much tougher than ordinary people.

After collapsing without even being able to cream, Dan-Goong frowned. He did not know that the men he had struck along the way were already unconscious and foaming at their mouths.

“What are you doing?!”

Purposely ignoring Dan-Goong’s complaint, Rinne flapped her wings to move forward. She knocked on the warehouse door. Although Dan-Goong stared at her dramatic way of knocking in surprise, she did not budge.

“What? Who is it?!”

That was when a threatening voice rang out from inside the warehouse.

“Who is it?!”

Creak!

A man decided to check the outside by opening the door slightly and taking a peek. He looked confused as no one appeared to be in sight. He was tall enough to see anyone who stood outside, but all he saw was emptiness.

“Huh? There’s no one here.”

Once the man was about to step out to investigate the odd situation, Dan-Goong, who was lying on the floor, could see Rinne’s eyes shine with an eerie light. She had heard the man’s comments.

“Rinne…is not small.”

Whoosh!!

At the same time, blue bits of energy began gathering on Rinne’s foot. She then raised her foot up and swung it at the opening door.

“Rinne does not think highly of this!”

Crash!!!!!

The door was completely demolished, and the neighboring wall also broke apart. As for the man, he was sent flying across the air.

“Rinne…is not small. Emotional circuit is heating to its limit. Rinne defines this as extreme anger!”

Even though Rinne maintained a straight face, Dan-Goong could not shake off the fact that she was extremely angry. Watching as the golem charged in without a plan, he had no choice but to seriously wonder how there wasn’t a single normal person around Prince Davey.

“Rinne is not small!!” Rinne shouted as she made a large cannon with one hand. She targeted the warehouse without hesitation and showered it with extremely hot rays of light.
